Royal Wine Merchants

"This is the cutest and my favorite wine shop in Manhattan. They’ve done an excellent job of utilizing the space to elegantly display a massive selection of wine options. It would be overwhelming if not for Nora who is always helpful and knows the perfect wine for any occasion. If you’re hosting a party or need a lot of wine their 3 for $30 rack is one of the best deals there is - but the wine is actually good and not just bottom barrel stuff. They also very often have a wine they’ll let you taste to make to help decide what you’re going for and at a minimum allow you to tell them what you like/dislike. While small, this is a nice perk that most shops don’t offer. The prices are affordable and the ambience of the shop will charm you. If you’re in need of a wine/liquor store in FiDi look no further!"

"The younger lady that works there is super welcoming. She let me try a bunch of samples from all over. I didn’t buy anything I loved the store and workers"

"I moved to Wall Street 2 months ago and went to every liquor store in the neighborhood for wine for cooking, Marsala and dry white….this was by far the best feeling store in the neighborhood. Being a bartender I looked at their booze just out of curiosity and was pleased with their selection and price point. The staff is 100% what sets them apart from any other store in the neighborhood."

"Go to this tiny, off the beaten path wine shop!! Huge selection of wine and you can find some great sales... Example in photo... 3 bottles for $30!! No where else in the FiDi have I seen a sale or price like that! Not to mention the staff is so nice and friendly. Highly recommend!!"
